I hear you on that! The hinges have so much movement that it is really tough to get them perfect. I went rounds with mine and even noticed differences swapping hinges from top to bottom .... Who knows? I got mine close enough to proceed but will wrestle it one more time when i do my final body prep prior to paint. Before painting i am planning to drill a couple alignment holes to help get them back to the same spot.
That is exactly my plan at the moment. Get them dialed in and drill an alignment hole. I am going to drill next to a bolt so the bolt washer will hide it when finished. I am planning on using the stainless hinges in the end but my current hinges will be used then carefully swap them out when done is the plan.... I will just keep learning as I go.
